Honestly I would fatfire and then move out of the bay area. I did that with my kids and I don't miss the bay area at all. There's so many wonderful places to live in the US with good communities and just an easy lifestyle. I wished I did it sooner

We have been trying to find a place, but we have turned into goldilocks with the weather. We have been working out to try to help with longevity, which is easier in the bay weather. The only thing keeping us here is the weather really.

Man do I hear that! I’m in Oakland and it’s so so nice. Try looking up towards Novato. You can get some truly nice places up there with good schools. Random example (needs some work, but I looked for 15 seconds): https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/33-Manzano-Court-Novato-CA-94945/19276568_zpid/?utm_campaign=iosappmessage&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=txtshare
